Where does the name horse gel, balm, or cream come from?
The belief that such products should contain animal ingredients, i.e., parts of horses, is completely mistaken. The connection to the name horse comes from history, where the horse was very important for the livelihood of the farming population. The horse represented an extremely valuable, strong, and enduring animal. Its health and well-being were cared for very prudently and carefully. If a horse suffered any injury or fell ill in its respiratory tract, locals made a so-called horse cream or preparation to treat the ailing animal, with which they massaged and treated their horses. Over time, this type of ointment began to be used by people for massaging overworked muscles, sore joints, swelling, sprains, tears, and other bumps and injuries. They even started using it for the care and massage of rheumatic areas.

Nowadays, horse cream or gel is most commonly used for home care of overworked muscles, and in massage salons as part of pain relief massage. The popularity of horse gel is growing daily among both the elderly and recreational athletes and sportspeople as part of post-exertion care or as part of sports massage.

Usage: Apply horse gel twice daily to the affected areas and gently rub it into the skin with a massage. Avoid contact with eyes and do not apply horse cream or gel to damaged skin and open wounds. The gel is not suitable for infants and small children. Wash your hands thoroughly after use.
